BlockBeats News. On April 5, Middle East analyst Mohammad Ali Shabani, in an interview, said he believes that U.S. President Trump is ready to carry out his threats to strike Iran’s key infrastructure, which would bring a risk of a serious escalation of the regional situation. Iran, meanwhile, sent a “we will not back down” signal to the United States by launching an attack on Kuwait’s infrastructure. “The current situation is, to some extent, similar to a standoff—both sides have no path to make a dignified exit. In this situation, I believe the likelihood of a serious escalation in the region within the next 24 hours is very high.” (Jin Ten)
